FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OIC Pet Launches the Barkley™ Pet Ramp Bench with Removable Cushion — the World’s First Bench with a Built-In Pet Ramp

Patent-pending furniture helps small, aging, and arthritic pets climb up safely, then hides the ramp away in seconds

MCKINNEY, Texas — August 12, 2026 — OIC Pet today announced the launch of the Barkley™ Pet Ramp Bench with Removable Cushion, the world’s first bench with a built-in, retractable pet ramp. Designed for pet owners who want to help their companions get up to a favorite perch without sacrificing style, the Barkley™ Pet Ramp Bench pairs comfortable, everyday seating with a gently sloped ramp that pulls out from under the cushion in seconds and tucks neatly away when not in use.

Small, arthritic, and aging pets often struggle to climb onto furniture, and traditional pet ramps are bulky, unattractive, and hard to store. The patent-pending Barkley™ Pet Ramp Bench solves both problems at once: a piece of furniture that complements any room while quietly giving pets the climbing assistance they need.

“Just a few years ago, I was the owner of an aging Brittany that could no longer jump onto the bed.  I was disappointed with the steps and ramps on the market and set out to make a more durable and attractive option that coordinated well with home furnishings,” said Jeff Kacines, President, OIC Pet. “I knew that other pet owners would appreciate an attractive, high-quality bench with a ramp, and, based on the reception so far, I think we’ve come up with a winner.”

Thoughtfully designed for pets and their people

•     Built-in hidden ramp — A gently sloped, 23° ramp pulls out from under the seat cushion in seconds to provide climbing assistance for small, arthritic, or aging pets, then hides away when not needed.

•     Anti-slip and secure — Durable, anti-slip matting gives pets sure footing on their way up and down.

•     Stain-resistant comfort — A high-density foam cushion offers plenty of comfort, wrapped in performance-treated, PFAS-free fabric. The cushion is removable for easy cleaning with no tools required.

•     Built to last — Solid wood and engineered plywood construction supports a 250 lb. bench capacity and a 150 lb. ramp capacity.

•     Furniture-first design — At 42″ W x 17.5″ D x 19.5″ H, it works as a genuine bench, not just a pet accessory.

Four finishes to match any home

The Barkley™ Pet Ramp Bench is available in four combinations of wood finish and upholstery:

•     Harvest wood with Oatmeal upholstery (#PBR10001)

•     Canyon Gray wood with Oatmeal upholstery (#PBR10002)

•     Black Walnut wood with Oatmeal upholstery (#PBR10003)
